Saw 2

I enjoyed Saw 1 as I like trying to work out the plot. I tried to do this with Saw 2 and couldn't! I did wonder how they could carry on the storyline as I thought it would be just the same as before. But I thoroughly enjoyed it!

It is not for the weak-hearted and can be quite gory at times but then it is an 18 and if you don't like that - don't watch!

I can't wait for Saw 3 which happens to be out on DVD today!

Well recommended.

Saw 2 was a brilliant film!! If you watched the first one then you will love this film!! The storyline is good, and just like the first one, not everything is as it seems, but everything comes together in the end!! A familiar face takes on a rather unexpected role in the flick!! A must see for horror fans!!

I like the plot of Saw 2, it seemed as if you were in the move. The actors made it better by screaming and making you think it was real. But it did have somr wrong things, such as it always like any other movie. Like the blood, the killer. Why can't it be a plain person you always know who it is by their looks. I think if you had to figure out the person it would have been a better movie.

I watched Saw 2 last night and can confirm it's a grizzly film - very gory indeed!

If there is one word I would use to describe this film it's gruesome. If you've got a weak stomach then don't go and watch this movie as some scenes are frankly, barbaric.

As with all sequals, it helps if you've seen the first, however with Saw 2 I would say that it's not a necessity to have seen the original, however the final acts do pay homage to the first movie.

Okay then onto the film itself, Saw 2 picks up with hunt for the notorious Jigsaw killer. Jigsaw sets devilish traos for his prey, but gives them the opportunity to survive if they can work out the trap, or even sacrifice part of their bodies to escape.

After the police have found a recent victim, it becomes apparent at the crime scenem that Jigsaw is taunting one of the investigating officers. From here we are led to Jigsaw's latest 'game' whereby he has kidnapped 8 individuals and locked them in a boobytrapped house - giving them a small chance of survival if they take part in one of his 'games'.

Can the cops & the captives solve the puzzles? You'll have to check out the film to find that one out, but suffice to say you can expect a twist or two along the way.

This is one of those films that is more about the plot than the actors and it doesn't feature any big names - that doesn't matter though as the acting is of a high enough standard to take us through the story. It is also a very slick and well made affair, I really like the way the action switched between various scenes and the 'game' scenes were very well done and looked harrowingly real.

So, how does it stack up against the original? Well, for me, it wasn't quite as good - the plot was still great, but I think it lacked some of the tension and unpredictability of the first and opted for more of a gorefest instead. On a side note, I would have loved to see Danny Golver's character come back, however for some reason he wasn't involved.

This is a great movie for Halloween, but remember that it is truly sick and will have you grimacing. That I guarantee you.
